Conservative Host Slams Republicans for Forgetting Their 'Principles'

[wvit1001]

S.E. Cupp took aim at Republican lawmakers in the opening of her Saturday evening television show, slamming them for apparently abandoning their traditional “principles” in support of President Donald Trump’s national emergency declaration regarding the United States’ border with Mexico.

“Knock, knock Republicans, anybody home?” Cupp, who identifies as a Republican but has been a staunch critic of Trump, said. “Any Republicans in Washington have a problem with this? Remember conservatism? Limited government? You know, your principles?” she asked in frustration

“You’d think at least a few of them would remember how much executive overreach offended them when the last guy did it,” the conservative pundit pointed out.

Laying into Trump directly, Cupp argued that “for all his talk about job creation, the president just killed a bunch of them.” She assessed that by “taking over the purse strings,” Trump had “rendered the jobs of all 535 members of Congress obsolete.”

“If the president can now just override Congress on spending, they may as well all pack up and go home,” the host said. “Will any Republican lawmakers say no to this?” she asked, lamenting that no GOP lawmaker that she had invited would agree to appear on her show to discuss the national emergency declaration

there is no way a rational human being can believe there is an actual NATIONAL EMERGENCY at the border that has not existed since 10 years ago, and more importantly, for the last 2 years when trump was in charge, and had a republican congress, and did not seem very concerned...yeah, he bitched about it, lied about making Mexico pay for it, lied about what was actually happening, but not until the midterm elections DID HE KICK IT INTO HIGH GEAR, TO PANDER TO THE RACIST MORONS AND BIGOTS THAT MIGHT BELIEVE THE CRISIS AND THE INVADERS HAD JUST STARTED, AND IT WAS DIFFERENT THAN IT HAS BEEN FOR THE LAST DECADE OR SO.

No Wvit is a fan of S. E. Cupp!

Remember Wvit never uttered a word of protest when Obama made law with a pen and a phone!

That would imply that the Republicans had any principles to forget.  In my whole adult life (starting in 1968) I have observed little evidence of Republican Principles, and none since 1980.  WTF are you talking about?

That's okay, because the other side has no principles and will do anything to advance their agenda.  The rules are out the window.  Do whatever it takes is the new rule.  It truly is an emergency situation, in more ways than one.

On the other side you will notice that Rino Cupp never attempts to hold the Left to any Principles. Which she knows better than to attempt since the Left has NO principles to be held to.

the so-called phony "conservatives" who claim they are "conservatives" are just deluding themselves.

they compromised their stated "principles" out for sheer political power and are willing to whore themselves - even to the Russians, like jim - for that political power.
